I’ve come across some great posts related to Information Architecture and User Experience via Twitter using Twilert. This tool lets you type in key words such as “Information Architecture”, “Interaction Design” and receive daily emails from those who used these keywords in their tweets.

Clients and colleagues who know me know that I love to use whiteboards and paper to draw out ideas and explain concepts to people. I find this non-technical approach helps people better understand potentially complex ideas and also allows everyone to participate in the decision making process.

This morning I came across this video (via @imnotadoctor) courtesy of CEO at SEOmoz Rand Fishkin who produces the video series “Whiteboard Friday”.

In this episode Rand has Dr. Pete Meyers on the show sharing ideas about improving the findability of products and services for massive e-commerce sites containing hundreds of thousands of products and services, including:

* Flat Architecture
* Mimicking “flatness” with XML site maps
* Building product prioritized pages at the top of the navigation structure
* Building deep external links
* Social usage cues

Thank you for sharing gentlemen and I look forward to reviewing past shows and future episodes!
